Carpe Diem

I was depressed. As if the world, my world, was ruined and crumbled. Alone, I was standing in the crowd. I have lost.

People said that I was too nice to everyone and eventually I was the one who being hurt. How foolish and naive I was. I should stop thinking to please everyone, because not every people accept and like you for the way you are. World is mean, people is cruel, reality hurts.

I was hoping to go far far far far away, escaping the world just for a while.

Then, God granted my wish. I was gone for a few days.

But first, I was a little dramtic by turning off every social medias that I have, including Instagram, Twitter, Line, etc. If you notice this then you couldn't find my name because I replaced it with "-". The only social media that I used back then was Whatsapp (I am now realized that I shouldn't use my social medias too much because they could hurt you like hell. Social medias only upset you, seriously)

I left my social media and then I was escaping my world, the reality, for a while. And it was good. It was like being in a therapy to heal your mental issue, to make everything back to normal like the way it used to be.

People are annoying, they're gossiping, judging, and talking behind your back. Yeah, some people were born to be fake. I was like going to yelled at them....

And I'm glad that I did turn off the social medias. It was one of the therapy. I am not doing this anymore...

Even I got my skin tanned, asthma, nose bleeding, fever, everything was worth it. The memories, the people, the places are irreplaceable.

I am now back as the whole NIS, the tall girl with a bubbly and iridescent personality, a new book that ready to be filled with, I am now healed.

Last but not least, to facing the mean-cruel-annoying world with fake people,

I should say...

The Pride of Indonesian

Bisa terlihat jelas sih topik yang kali ini gue akan tulis apa. Yup, tentang negara kita, Indonesia. Sejujurnya, setiap 17 Agustus itu gue gampang baper, lho. Membayangkan bagaimana para pahlawan dulu berjuang untuk memerdekakan negara ini. Tetes darah dan keringat sudah bersatu di tubuh mereka, suara tembakan dari berbagau penjuru, benar-benar terbayang di dalam pikiran gue setiap mendengar lagu-lagu wajib nasional Indonesia. Bahkan, pada awalnya Indonesia Raya saja hanya bisa dimainkan dengan biola agar para penjajah tidak tahu makna lagu ini. Rasanya, Indonesia itu memang uber alles, deh. Gue selalu merinding setiap mendengar atau melihat sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan Indonesia. Entah dari lagu wajibnya, dari alat musik tradisionalnya, dari kebudayaannya, dari gugusan pulaunya yang banyaaaaak banget. Memang Indonesia masih menjadi negara berkembang, sebuah negara yang kalah dari Korea Selatan walaupun mempunyai usia kemerdekaan yang sama. Tetapi gue yakin, Indonesia akan menjadi ...

Dear Momma (2.0)

And eventually I'm just a scared little lady. The super sensitive one when people talked about "family bond." I would cry easily on my Momma's lap when we had a deep conversation. She's my hero, my wonderwoman. The one who rescued me in my lowest. The one who protected me whenever I needed her. So, two days ago we had a deep conversation. It was about manner. " Kamu mbok ya jangan ngomong sama Mama kaya gitu.. nanti dosa ," she said when we got started. I was standing beside her while she sat on the sofa. We were talking about the latest movie actually -not the deep conversation, yet-. "Kalo ngomong sama orang tua, apalagi sama Mama, jangan sampe Mama harus mengadah liat kamu... Tatapan mata kita sejajar aja udah salah... " I was like.. . krik. Speechless. " Justru dari dulu k epala Mama lebih rendah daripada kepala Eyangti, lho. Nanti kualat kamu kaya gitu, De... Mama dari dulu mau ingetin kamu tapi lupa terus. Tiap abis shalat, ...

Pancasila, Nasionalisme, dan Eyangkung

Mungkin Eyangkung (Eyang Kakung, Kakek dalam bahasa Jawa) benci disebut-sebut sebagai pahlawan. Tapi, memang kenyataannya begitu. Tidak akan ada Indonesia tanpa Eyangkung dan para pahlawan yang lain. Eyangkung saya bernama Eyang TK, beliau lahir di Solo pada 17 Agustus 1919. Eyangkung bersekolah di Neutrale H. I. S Solo dan beliau berprestasi di sekolahnya. Karena prestasi itulah beliau dibebaskan dari les persiapab masuk M. U. L. O. dan pada akhirnya beliau berhasil masuk tanpa melalui tes ujian masuk. Sebagai cucu kesekian, saya sangat bangga mempunyai sosok Eyangkung. Karena beliau, saya selalu bersumpah akan membawa nama baik keluarga. Saya nggak mau menjelekkan nama baik keluarga besar, saya nggak mau dibilang, "cucu pahlawan kok seperti itu?" (Walaupun saya ini memang tergolong bandel sih, cuma bandelnya masih sebatas wajar). Walaupun beliau wafat setahun sebelum saya lahir, banyak cerita yang sudah saya dengar maupun foto-foto beliau yang saya lihat. Dari yan...

Worthy Soul

I like deep hugs. I like holding hands. I like unexpected kisses. I like to be clingy. I want it everyday. I want to be loved, seen, heard, wanted, and needed. I want intimacy, connection, feeling warm and safe. I want a bond, soul to soul. A real love. Not a lust. I was kissed and hugged by love, several times, years ago in juvenile times. I was kissed and hugged by lust, several times in adult times. They longed for more hugs and kisses, they craved me. Some came from the intimacy and connection built in trust and affection, the rest... came from lust. As a lover woman, I know the difference, I could feel it... and I hate how lust could tainted the intimacy, connection, and the bond of souls. I hate how lust could made it as if an assault where I was only an object, not a subject. I hate how intimacy and connection eventually could became a lust. I miss to feel the sacred of love, where it overflows with intimacy and connection. Where eyes could speak to another eyes, without needing...

Childhood

Kalo diliat dari cerita di atas, kayanya terasa banget yaa kebersamaan antar saudaranya. Hiburan permainannya juga di alam terbuka. Gue inget banget dulu waktu jaman-jamannya dari belom sekolah sampe udah, gue sama sepupu-sepupu yang gue sebutin di cerita sebelumnya seneeeeeng banget main ini-itu, kejar-kejaran, semuanya deh. Inget banget rasanya main Tak Jongkok di halaman, sampe kita semua kecapean dan permainan ini berhenti dengan akhir yang sangat tidak jelas. Terus main Petak Umpet yang asli... seru banget. Jujur aja mungkin kalo diajak main ini lagi di halaman rumah Bendhil gue pasti ngga mungkin nolak. Gimana ngga seru coba? Di halaman Bendhil itu... penuh akan tempat persembunyian. Di balik batang pohon kelapa yang gede (berasa kaya Hermione di HarPot 3 yang ngumpet dibalik labu loh rasanya), terus di balik pager rumah, di balik semak-semak, dan.... pot taneman yang gede pun bisa jadi tempat ngumpet. Yang paling buat ketawa ngakak itu kalo yang jaga udah mulai kelilin...
